Monday 23rd March – Literacy

Today we will be doing some free writing!

Lets start with thinking about three strong memories we have. These could be big or small but must be something that you remember in lots of detail.
Summarize these three memories and write them in your jotter with the starter “I know what it feels like…”

Next, pick one memory to write about in detail. Use the following website at set a 20 minute timer. You should spend this time writing non-stop! Try not to worry too much about spelling and punctuation at this point – just try your best. https://www.online-stopwatch.com/classroom-timers/

Lastly, read over your story and check it makes sense. Try and correct spelling using a dictionary to help you. Remember, the purpose of this piece of writing is to be read so make it as interesting for your reader as you can!

Can you type up your story and send it to your teacher on GLOW ?
